Summary:
The documentation demonstrates a subtle Windows bias. Windows servers and tools are often mentioned first or exclusively (e.g., 'installed roles and features (Windows servers only)'), and Windows credential requirements are described in more detail and before Linux equivalents. There are no concrete Linux command-line examples, and Linux-specific discovery nuances are less elaborated. The documentation refers to Windows-centric technologies (e.g., .NET, IIS, SQL Server) without equal mention of Linux alternatives (e.g., Apache, NGINX, MySQL/PostgreSQL).
Recommendations:
- Provide Linux-specific examples and screenshots alongside Windows ones, especially for credential setup, permissions, and discovery troubleshooting.
- List Linux and Windows options in parallel, not always with Windows first.
- Expand on Linux discovery requirements and troubleshooting, including common Linux distributions and their nuances.
- Include examples of Linux web applications (e.g., Apache, NGINX, Tomcat) and databases (e.g., MySQL, PostgreSQL) in inventory and assessment sections.
- Clarify that features like software inventory and dependency analysis are supported equally on Linux, and provide any Linux-specific limitations or steps.
- Where Windows tools or technologies are mentioned (e.g., .NET, IIS), provide Linux equivalents or note support for open-source stacks.
